Purple jerusalem sage is a robust, sprawling shrub reaching heights of 4-6 feet (1.2–1.8 meters) and an equal span in width. It is characterized by upright stems with a woolly texture. The foliage consists of medium gray-green leaves that complement the vibrant lavender-hued flowers. These flowers are organized in conspicuous whorls that slightly ascend above the leafage. Blooms are most profuse in the later part of spring, although flowering can occur sporadically throughout the year. Each bloom period is followed by a recommended trim to maintain aesthetics.
